On the day that you were born the angels got together and decided to create a dream come true. So they sprinkled creamed corn in your hair of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue. Just like me, they long to be Close to You. (Close to You–The Carpenters) Catastrophe–a disastrous event causing greatContinue reading “CREAMED CORN CATASTROPHE”

Donuts and Patience
Donuts or Patience? Which one has the shortest shelf life at your house? Patience is waiting with a smile. At least that is the version I teach my grandkids. I have committed myself to pursue the most important goal of loving God and loving others first and most. God’s #1 Textbook begins that description withContinue reading “Donuts and Patience”

ROAD RAGE…AGAIN
It happened again. Road Rage. I was neither the victim nor the enraged. This time I was responsible for the situation. I previously shared my thoughts on Road Rage. I trust that your driving skills have significantly improved, particularly in applying the “Love First, Love Most” techniques. I still struggle. My recent traffic incident didContinue reading “ROAD RAGE…AGAIN”
WINSDAY HOPE FOR SUNDAY

Occasionally, it might be your “best” or “recurring” dream. Do not worry. I am not going to recall all theContinue reading “DREAMS (and a Big Biscuit)”

TROUT FISHING…AGAIN
Oh, the thrill of trout fishing! This session is for all of you. Those who know and love the thrill of Field and Stream and those of you who fail to see the point, much less the fun of the hunt or cast. I can identify with both parties, mainly the latter. My wife comesContinue reading “TROUT FISHING…AGAIN”
GUARDIANS of the GRANDKIDS…AGAIN
My son was recently honored by the basketball Final Four as a Guardians of the Game for Leadership. One would think ‘leadership’ would be a noble aspiration for any grandparent. Reality is more like, “Which way did they go?” Some of our grandkids are into Marvel movies like Guardians of the Galaxy. The premise forContinue reading “GUARDIANS of the GRANDKIDS…AGAIN”
STORMS…AGAIN
LOVE NEVER CRACKS UNDER PRESSURE. Storms will come in life. The question is not IF, but WHEN. I want to restate my main point before you finish reading or listening. LOVE NEVER CRACKS UNDER PRESSURE. This past week’s news focused on storms. There were strong tornadoes and damaging wind-driven fires. The word “storm” refers toContinue reading “STORMS…AGAIN”
